Q1 :

What was the importance of the watch to the author?

Answer :

The watch was important to the author as it showed him the
correct time thus keeping him punctual. He had it working
properly for 18 months until he let it run down. He had staunch
faith on its judgement and its prediction. It worked perfectly
until then without gaining or losing any part of it.

After a possession of 18 months, the author let his watch run
down. Devastated, the author went to all possible watch makers
starting from the chief jeweller, the very next day. The head of
the establishment pushed the regulator of the watch a little too
much, which did no good, rather worsened its condition. Then the
author went to another watch maker who kept it for a week and
slowed it down, however, too much. Then he went to another one
who kept it for three days; and then couple of more. Even after
having spent thousands dollars, none of the watch makers could
fix the watch. Hopeless, the author gave it a last shot and went
to a watch maker who turned out to be an erstwhile, not a good,
steam-boat engineer. It was now that the author realised that
"a good horse was a
good horse until it had run away once, and that a good watch was
a good watch until the repairers got a chance at it.
